Re: Abalone
said by B  :I'd be interested in what numbers public access channels pull. I'd think they were teeny tiny / nonexistent. The real "public square in the electronic age", as most know, is the Internet. And with the advent of audio and video (still wishing for a better vogue word) "podcasting", that's where people turn for interesting obscure stuff. I really, really don't much care about "public access television". -- B Well, in most metro cities, public access viewership pulls bigger viewer numbers than the total number of broadband subscribers....
Besides, one of the bigger functions of public access is that it provides cheap community training on video production and access to remote feed equipment.
